"Chrissy the Shih Tzu may be the cutest sleuth on the job, but don't let that button nose fool you — it's perfectly able to sniff out a killer with a little help from her human friends. Great start to a fun new series!" (Sheila Webster Boneham, author of the award-winning Animals in Focus Mysteries)  

"Diane Wing does an excellent job of showing readers just how animals can communicate with us through images and actions when we are tuned into their frequency. Through the relationship between Autumn and Chrissy, Wing also shows the importance of therapy animals and how much they can help those who need them. Add in a sweet romance to the intrigue of the mystery and you've got a book that you won't want to put down." (Melissa Alvarez, Intuitive, animal communicator and author of Animal Frequency and Llewellyn's Little Book of Spirit Animals) 

"Diane Wing has created a wonderfully endearing little character in Chrissy the Shih Tzu. It really shines through that the author is an animal and dog lover. I can see these books quickly becoming a cherished addition to the cozy mystery genre." (J. New, author of The Yellow Cottage Vintage Mysteries)

An Endearing Cozy Mystery

Diane Wing's cozy mystery featuring Chrissy, the Shih Tzu, was entertaining and enjoyable. The first book detailed the characters in such depth that it made them seem almost real. I liked trying to figure out who the culprit was by the clues that the author distributed throughout the story. I found it admirable that the author described the relationship between an owner and a therapy animal and how that relationship can help to heal one another. I am looking forward to more books in this series. I recommend this book to others who enjoy this genre. Lisa Negron's narration was pleasant and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Excellent

Cute story with the help of the Shitzu and a new friend, she will find the answers. Good beginning to a new series, and the narration by Lisa was excellent

Suspenseful yet tender!

I enjoyed learning about dogs who helped people cope with stress and PTSD. The story was well-developed and held my attention throughout.

Lisa Negron did a great job narrating and bringing the characters to life.

The power of a good dog

I enjoyed this story. Although I don't think it needed the strange element of the dog sharing visions with it owner, especially as there was no explanation of why she could, this bumped the book down to a four star for me. Also I started to roll my eyes every time someone said they would have taken the dog if they had known she was at the shelter, it just seemed unnecessary for every one to say it. Otherwise I really enjoyed the mystery and it contained plenty of suspects to keep you guessing and with a budding romance it was a nice cozy mystery. All the dogs were the real star of the show (although I did like the characters) and I liked learning about there roll in helping people with PTSD, it made for a unique story line. I hope there is more to come in the series.
Autumn is trying to learn to cope with the death of both of her parents in a car accident. An accident that she was the only survivor. One of the ways her psychiatrist suggests is to learn to love again by adopting a dog from a shelter. She immediately falls in love with a Shih Tzu called Chrissy who seems just as damaged as she does. Chrissy only came in the night before when she was discovered guarding the body of her murdered owner. In order to help Chrissy, Autumn sets out to find out what happened to the little dogs owner and In the process helps herself.
The narrator was pleasant enough, sometimes she sounded a bit robotic but at others she did some good voices.
